I didn't look at the back to see what interface it has, but there was an HP 9885M that
looked pretty decent at Weird Stuff on Sunday ($75).
It was atop an HP 9000/236 ($150).
There were a couple other HP PA-RISC systems there, as well as a couple IBM RS/6000
desktops and what looked like a PS/2 Model 80, an Epson of some sort, and a Panasonic Sr.
Partner.
And a nice looking Macintosh LC III for which they were asking too much, though I still
considered it seriously since it was an LC III with an included 10Base-T card?

Probably a question for Tony's encyclopedic
knowledge. I just
scored two HP 9825, one a later "T" option and one "B" version
with all the fixings (i.e ROM packs). They both seem to work
save the usual tape drive which I have not gotten to yet. Both
have the flexible disc ROM. What kind of discs can I hook up?
Which flexible disk ROM? There are 2. The older one, AFAIK
supports the HP9885 8" drive which has a 16 bit parallel interface
and needs the right version of the 98032 to hook it up. The later
disk ROM supports the HP9895 on HPIB.
